    dew factor

    Given that the Cricket World Cup 2023 will be held in India during October-November, dew is expected to play an important role. This will be a good opportunity for India to test itself in adverse circumstances. Batting becomes much easier in such a scenario, but dew makes it difficult for teams to defend the total. India will be keen to test the performance of their bowling, especially spin, in the second innings.

    Return of injured players

Recently, India has seen some of its key players making a comeback from their respective injuries. KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah have made a great comeback.

    Mohammed Siraj, while talking to his Indian teammate Kuldeep Yadav, told BCCI.TV, ‘I practiced a lot of bowling outswing (ball moving outside the wicket) from outside the crease in West Indies. . My outswing is getting quite good. So I tried to swing the ball inwards from the outer part of the crease (which would have gone towards the outside after falling on the pitch).

    Siraj had made a plan

    He said, ‘It happened exactly as I had planned and in my mind and it was my best wicket of the match.’ There is less than a month left for the start of the ODI World Cup and Siraj said that his bowling in the Asia Cup final will give him a lot of confidence ahead of the prestigious competition.

He said, ‘I also read the batsman to see which shot he is trying to play. I am using my googly and flipper balls well and this is giving me a lot of confidence.

    Rohit praised Siraj

Pace ace Siraj became the first Indian bowler to take four wickets in a single over after bowling out Sri Lanka for 50 runs in the Asia Cup final. Rohit told reporters, ‘Siraj deserves a special mention here, when the pitch looks so dry, it is a special skill to rotate the ball like this. I hope he keeps it up for a little longer. Also, we just need to see that all the bowlers ensure that they are fresh. And let us be prepared for the games ahead.

    How was Team India’s performance in Asia Cup?

    India had a great performance in the Asia Cup 2023. India faced only one defeat in the entire tournament. It was against Bangladesh.
